Embedding Culture Coaching

 

Embed First Nations perspectives every day, with confidence and integrity.

 

This is more than a workshop, it’s a journey.

At Songlines Art, Culture, Education, we believe that embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives shouldn’t just happen one week a year. It should be a living, breathing part of your classroom, your practice, and your culture as a team.

But knowing where to start, and how to do it authentically, can feel overwhelming.

That’s where we come in.

Our Embedding Culture Coaching is a research-informed, culturally respectful program designed to help educators and leaders reflect on their own practice, plan meaningful steps, and build the confidence to embed First Nations perspectives all year round.

  • Early childhood services & OSHC teams
  • Primary & secondary school staff
  • School leadership & boards
  • Educational organisations seeking to strengthen their cultural capability

 

If you’re ready to move beyond tokenistic “theme weeks” and make real, respectful change, this is for you.

  • A deeper understanding of what embedding means, and what it doesn’t.
  • Personal and team reflection on your own positionality and practice.
  • A tailored Cultural Action Plan with clear, achievable goals.
  • Ongoing support to keep you accountable and growing.
  • Greater confidence to embed culture respectfully and strategically, every day.

Reflect

We start with a foundational workshop, helping your team reflect critically on your own position, knowledge, and biases. Together we map where your current practice sits on the continuum from tokenism to embedded cultural responsiveness.

Plan

We guide you to develop a practical, 12-month Cultural Action Plan tailored to your team and setting, aligning with your curriculum model (EYLF or Australian Curriculum), and your unique community.

Act & Reflect

We support you with ongoing termly coaching sessions, helping you reflect, adjust, and stay on track as you implement your plan.

Testimonials

"The Embedding Culture workshop with Songlines was a truly eye-opening and inspiring experience for our whole team. Clare created such a safe, respectful space for us to reflect on our own assumptions and really think about how we can make culture a living, breathing part of our everyday practice, not just something we do for NAIDOC Week. The activities and discussions were thought-provoking and practical, and the Cultural Action Plan helped us set achievable goals we can build on each term. Our confidence has already grown, and the feedback from families and children has been so positive. We feel proud to be taking real steps toward embedding First Nations perspectives authentically and respectfully, and we couldn’t have done it without Clare’s guidance and expertise. Highly recommend this PD to any service or school that wants to move beyond tokenism and make a real difference."
